Lamp Post: January 30, 2014

While I enjoy posting the odd and humorous stories I find across the internet in my daily Door Jams, I see a lot of good, encouraging content that I’d love to share as well.

To continue with the Narnian allusions, welcome to the inaugural Lamp Post. I’ll have some news items that are significant and worthwhile, along with opinion pieces that I found to be quality content and thought-provoking.

I want this to be a weekly post that shines a light on something good you may have missed. Like the lamp post Lucy spotted in Narnia, my goal is for this to guide you to something new, but at the same time be there to point you back home.
